Limited upside: If a stock is already at an all-time high, there may be limited room for growth. 2. Overvaluation: Stocks trading at historical highs may be overvalued, meaning their prices are not justified by their earnings or fundamentals. 3. Increased volatility: Stocks at highs can be more volatile, and a small correction can result in significant losses. 4. No margin of safety: Buying at highs leaves little room for error, and a slight decline can lead to losses. However, some investors may still consider buying stocks at historical highs if: 1.

The recent rebound in April is an example that Chinese stocks can rebound without a rebound in property. Falling property price has been a boon to discretionary spending.- China’s economy is bottoming with some upticks, not stalling - our proprietary cycle indicator shows. Manufacturing investment has made up for the fall in property investment. China’s advantage in export stems from its labor productivity and costs. It won’t disappear and will trigger trade frictions.

Ok let's address all three questions. Is it wise to buy at historical highs? Well if there is a number of tailwinds that lead you to the conclusion that the stock will continue to rally, then yes. But also look at the potential headwinds. At some point you must make the decision to either buy a ticket for the roller coaster and jump on, or just sit at the ticket booth and watch, interviewing people who are on the ride and either regret your decision not to buy a ticket, or rejoice in your decision to stay on the sidelines.

Everyone is a genius in a bull market But wealth is created in a bear market. Bull markets don’t last forever Bear markets don’t last forever Your only job is to prepare for both.

Investing in stocks at historic highs requires a balanced approach. While historical trends and potential gains offer compelling reasons to invest, the risk of corrections and valuation concerns warrant caution.

Remember, investing is a long-term game, and staying focused on your objectives can help you navigate market fluctuations with confidence.

What would my 45 year old self tell my 25 year old self, with regards to the market: 1. Buy and hold index funds, and add to them every year. 2.

Dear fellow investors, with the EU dropping their rates. USD has raised in forex value. This will be their cushion when US dropped their rates in Nov.  The corporations are manipulating the numbers to push the main indexes to new highs with decrease volume. Looking back to the data of the 2008 dotcom bubble.
